Ok, so they're really rather different, in distributed system software.

Yes, I understand that; but I was thinking the NT server vs
workstation registry setting. If there would just have been this
prof/he key.

Yes, Cygwin gives a lot more insight in permissions. It seems
however, that XP (HE) doesn't respect execute permissions on
directories, in some cases. Moreover, read and execute permissions in
/cygdrive/c seem to be granted in any case.
$ mkdir 400; echo 400 > 400/400; chmod 400 400
$ ls -ld 400 400/400; cat 400/400
